Zelenskyy knows what it is to fight for something bigger than yourself. Trump does not.

A12-blokkade: 5 april, 12:00 uur! Wij trekken opnieuw in Den Haag op tegen de misdadige fossiele subsidies. Nederland verstrekt jaarlijks tussen de 39,7 en 46,4 miljard euro aan fossiele subsidies, er is slechts 1,8 miljard begroot voor internationaal klimaatbeleid. #NoFossilSubsidies

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I regret to say there has been a lot of foolishness on some sections the left about #Ukraine, echoing Russian and far-right talking points. (Just as shamefully, the same people supported Assad in Syria). Now is the time to put that foolishness aside. We should all stand with Ukraine.

In this week's column, I explore what I see as a very real prospect of systemic collapse, caused by Trump's actions, and suggest we start preparing. I try to explain how complex systems fail, and suggest some of the failure paths we could be on. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There are many ways Trump could trigger a global collapse. Here’s how to survive if that happens | George Monbiot

It could be wildfires, a pandemic or a financial crisis. The super-rich will flee to their bunkers – the rest of us will have to fend for ourselves, writes columnist George Monbiot

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth. Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

Go vegan, people. For this and a million other reasons. Stop animal exploitation, fuck the toxic systems that enable it. If you don't do it out of empathy for animals, do it to save the fucking planet 🌍

There is no automatic reversion to "normal" in politics. Nor will the timid business-as-usual which got us into this mess get us out of it. We'll achieve a better society after Trump and similar tyrants only through massive and focused movement-building. It has to start right now.

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

Elf rebellen die op 11 januari op de A12 zijn natgespoten met een waterkanon, hebben aangifte gedaan tegen de politie wegens mishandeling, dwang en schending van de geweldsinstructie. Lees ons persbericht: extinctionrebellion.nl/elf-a12-demo...

Een waterkanon spuit mensen die op de grond van de tunnelbak van de A12 zitten nat, mensen druipen van het water ondanks de regenkleding. Op de voorgrond staat in witte letters de tekst “Elf rebellen doen aangifte”

Op de achtergrond is een waterkanon te zien wat mensen natspuit. Op de voorgrond staat in witte letters de tekst “ Ik kon niet weg en kreeg langdurig de volle laag van het waterkanon. Het water was ijskoud. Toen ik als laatste van de A12 werd verwijderd, kon ik niet meer lopen en moest ik op een brancard worden afgevoerd. Er was geen enkele medische hulp.”

Nice haul today from one of my favourite places! 🌞 Got @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social 's Dead Astronauts—I really want to find out if there are dead astronauts in there; and @margaret.bsky.social 's short story anthology that I'm also looking forward to a lot! And some other good—I hope—reads.

Four books on a wooden table; Dead Astronauts by Jeff Vandermeer; We Won't Be Here Tomorrow by Margaret Killjoy; The Book of Elsewhere by Keanu Reeves and China Miéville; The Physics of Climate Change by Lawrence M. Krauss

It's a nazi salute. Can we just say it. Elon Musk did a nazi salute in front of a wildly applauding crowd. Because he's a fucking nazi. And so are they.

Hey I'm new. I write weird fairytale horror and other odd story-like concoctions. Currently researching Gaulish culture for a WIP. Did you know the Gaulish word for blood sacrifice is "Orgenā"? Now you do 💀 Hit me with the most spine-tingling thing you experienced in a forest. #write #writesky
